Leading St. Louis Tree Service Teaches Residents How to Maintain Oak Trees

(St. Louis, MO). Oak trees are a common find in the St. Louis area. They are incredibly majestic and add a sense of history, as they can live to be hundreds of years old if they are properly maintained. Making sure they do not dry out and that they are properly fertilized is key to their long life expectancy. A leading St. Louis tree company is now showing residents how to do exactly that.

In the winter, Oak trees can become dry, which is not particularly bad. However, St. Louis residents must prevent them from becoming abnormally dry. Winter rainfall is scarce so it is best to irrigate during early spring in addition to rainfall. Another thing that can be done is using organic mulch under the trees to cut down on evaporation on the surface and helps keep the roots moist.

Nitrogen is also important to keep St. Louis tree Oaks healthy. That is why fertilizer plays a huge role. Organic nitrogen or slow release nitrogen is the best option. But this should be used in late winter to make sure the nitrogen gets to the roots of the tree. Timing is very crucial; it is always according to season and seasonal weather when it comes to trees.For more information contact Premiere Tree Services of St. Louis at 4579 Laclede Ave. #124 St. Louis, MO 63108 or call (314) 881-8334 or visit http://stlouis.premieretreeservices.com/.
